The Homepage is the top level of a class or section website. Anyone visiting the website can see the public view of the Homepage. In the public view, visitors can see most parts of the page, but there may be an image or information about the class that is restricted to class members only.
[Logging in|https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/display/SUG2/Logging+In] to the website gives access to the Homepage's restricted view and to the pages listed in The Navigation Bar. (The instructor sets all levels of [access control|https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/display/SUG2/Changing+the+Access+Level+of+a+Class+Website] for a class/section website.) Students may not see much difference between the public and restricted views. However, the difference is noticeable for instructors. The restricted view displays additional links on the Homepage that instructors use to:
* Edit the Homepage
* Edit personal information
* Add , reorder, and remove instructors and TAs
* Add, edit, and delete announcements
* Switch between instructor and student views of a page
